Psalms

Chapter 27

  1. 1

    A psalm for David himself. Unto thee will I cry, O Lord: O my God, be not thou silent to me: lest thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

  2. 2

    Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee; when I lift up my hands to thy holy temple.

  3. 3

    Draw me not away together with the wicked; and with the workers of iniquity destroy me not: Who speak peace with their neighbour, but evils are in their hearts.

  4. 4

    Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their inventions. According to the works of their hands give thou to them: render to them their reward.

  5. 5

    Because they have not understood the works of the Lord, and the operations of his hands: thou shalt destroy them, and shalt not build them up.

  6. 6

    Blessed be the Lord, for he hath heard the voice of my supplication.

  7. 7

    The Lord is my helper and my protector: in him hath my heart confided, and I have been helped. And my flesh hath flourished again, and with my will I will give praise to him.

  8. 8

    The Lord is the strength of his people, and the protector of the salvation of his anointed.

  9. 9

    Save, O Lord, thy people, and bless thy inheritance: and rule them and exalt them for ever.
